Please show the override.conf contents

3

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d

override.conf

Customize Plex’s config

[Service]
Environment=“PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/mnt/nextcloud/plexdata/Library/Application Support”

These values are only needed if you wish to change user & group

User=plex
Group=plex

This is needed to change the default umask

UMask=0002 # this must be 4 digits of octal

4

Is this a network share mount? the name nextcloud implies that

If so, it will never work. The absolute file locking required to run PMS is not available on any of the network file sharing protocols (NFS, SMB/CIFS, AFS)

5

No it just a mount point on 1Tb hard drive

6

Check the following.

  1. Unmount the drive

  2. Let’s make certain the unprivileged user plex can traverse them
    – chmod 755 /mnt/nextcloud /mnt/nextcloud/plexdata

  3. Also make certain Plex owns the top mount point
    – sudo chown plex:plex /mnt/nextcloud/plexdata

  4. Now mount the file system & confirm user plex owns Library (use ls -la)

  5. It’s prudent to force / confirm all ownership from Library down
    – sudo chown -R plex:plex /mnt/nextcloud/plexdata/Library

Now give it a spin.

7

I did that, and now plex lybrary after reboot is empty
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4.0K Dec 23 21:59 Library

8

And if I unmount the drive, how I can do that? System do not see this folders

9

Based on the mount point – these directories already exist in the file system of the main host therefore you set them BEFORE mounting the drive

After mounting the drive, ‘Library’ becomes visible under the mount point, True?
